The WBA middleweight world champion Felix Sturm of Germany and Giovanni Lorenzo of Dominican Republic meet face to face at a final press conference for their upcoming clash at the Kameha Grand Hotel on August 30 in Bonn, Germany.
"The team of Gladbach inspired me. They were the underdogs, they played in front of Leverkusen’s home crowd and they scored a very convincing and impressing win. That’s exactly what I will do next Saturday. Gladbach scored 6 goals – I will score 6 knockdowns. When I heard that Sturm is from Leverkusen like yesterday’s losers things were very clear to me: I will be the new champion," Lorenzo said.
Felix Sturm wasn’t too impressed with Lorenzo running his mouth: "Talk is cheap. I heard he said that he will stop me within five or six rounds. We will see who will be on the receiving end on Saturday. All I can say is that I am very well prepared and all fired up for this fight. It’s a new situation for me because this is the first show I am doing all by myself. Of course, I have a phantastic team; everybody on Team Sturm has been doing a great job organizing this huge event. I promise all fans that this Saturday will set new standards for boxing and entertainment in Germany." All photos: G. Uebe / ARENA
